Off topic stuff from moving to Marbella
I often wonder if the posters who ask about jobs or business opportunities on BE look on employment and business sites too, or just come here.
Because that is where I would start, and get the info out of the horses mouth, instead of coming on here and getting the info out of the horses arse.

Re: Moving to Marbella - Adivce Needed
You are one of the biggest horeses arses on here.. Keep spain to yourself mister selfish. Nobody else deserves to move here unless they are fluent spanish, eat gold for breakfast and ride ponies in gym class. Some of us live in the real world mate. Sorry Jo, hope this wasn't rude. I will try in the future to be less rude. I promise.
Yes it was and you know it!! Sadly you do your opinions and views no favours by adding insults

I was asking because some seem clueless as to what the job situation is like.
Some posters give a realistic picture of what the job situation is, and the ones who dont want to "start at the bottom and work their way down" like a lot of expats I know, should choose to stay where they are in the UK, if they decide to listen.
The norm is if you are doing crap in the UK, you will do worse here in Spain.
As for the ponies in the gym class comment
priceless...

Re: Moving to Marbella - Adivce Needed
No fear of getting my back up, you're right, you'll always get the type that comes on these forums, asks for advice, and then because it's not what they want to hear, ignore it and move to Spain anyway. Someone will tell them to ignore the feedback, come on over, I've found work. Generally it will be crappy low paid driving/cleaning jobs/bar work etc. Most then end up as "bottom feeders" as you describe them, scratching enough to pay for their booze and fags. No wonder the Spanish laugh at them. All the Spanish I know here in UK have excellent, well paid jobs, thankfully they can see that the "bottom feeders" that end up in Spain are not typical of the people of UK.

Talking out of your bum as usual, does that make you a "bottom feeder" ?!!
Your spanish nationality makes no difference to the validity of your knowledge. It's very clear to even a blind man, the spanish spend endless hours, talking complete carp amongst themselves.
BTW, there's a huge mass of Spanish out there that have no interest in working, because they can make it easier on the black market or selling drugs, etc. Let's face it, my OH as a Funcionario is at the rock face and gets a very good feel for what really is going on and not the rantings of the clueless.
Anyway, I'm not even going to attempt to educate the ignorant amongst us, but the following FACT should be of interest to everyone posting on here.
The Policia Local in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (pop about 500,000) are trying to fill 71 positions. One might think with such high unemployment, that would be an easy task. Sadly not.
They could only pass 30 people, as the rest were too IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED AND STUPID to pass a spelling test.
These are probably the same people with whom our token spanish poster on BE spends his time talking to, lol.

you are known for it.... and lets face it funkies are usually classed as the biggest R.soles in the country, the most clueless and laziest workers in Spain, I dont know many who have much respect for them on the whole, especially the ones that deal with the public.And if you knew how to read you would see that I have never said that we dont have Spanish people being idle, theiving, selling drugs and working on the black, I actually said that we have enough of our home grown bums, losers,illiterates and shysters without importing more from other countries, so what are you banging on about? We are saying the same thing.

Re: Moving to Marbella - Adivce Needed
It would be interesting to hear what the conditions of the job would be, as there was a thread about starting a business who was "thinking of employing someone on a commision only basis" the other day.
You know the type who dont have enough faith in their own products/services, that they cant even offer a basic wage, talk about not putting you money where your mouth is.

Now I have seen it all, with a capital 'L' on my forehead.

This is what I was talking about:
I don't have any plans for a physical shop front, I was thinking more along the lines of producing a product and marketing it online, then maybe employing someone on a commission-only basis to go out and sell it, or at least setup demos at prospects premises. Sort of thing.
BTW the business is still in the embrionic stage..........
One would have to be pretty desperate or totally thick to translate that into a serious offer of employment, tell me again
what was that you were saying about pooh, poohI think you are the one that needs to get a grip, not me

And you must admit that the message I send in answer to your weed induced rantings usually just say one word "LOSER."
